Change copy speed or quality

The HP All-in-One provides three options that affect copy speed and quality:

•Best produces high quality for all paper and eliminates the banding (striping) effect that sometimes occurs in solid areas. Best copies slower than the Normal or Fast quality settings.

•Normal delivers high quality and is the recommended setting for most of your copying. Normal copies faster than Best and is the default setting.

•Fast copies faster than the Normal setting. The text is comparable to the quality of the Normal setting, but the graphics might be lower quality. The Fast setting uses less ink and extends the life of your ink cartridges.
